Repot

Might be overwatering, the soil looks moist and the leaves are droopy/yellow. How often do you water it? If it’s not that it might need to be repotted. Take the root ball out (that is, try to get the plant out of the pot WITH the soil by grabbing onto the base and sliding it out gently). If you see roots crowding at the edges and starting to form to the shape of the pot, I would move it to a pot that is 2” more in diameter and backfill with new soil.

She may need some fertilizer. A lot of plants do in the spring

It could be root rot, take the plant out of the pot and inspect the roots. If there are dark brown or black roots that are soft and fall off easily, cut them all off and repot the plant, then cut back on watering a bit. Root rot is caused by overwatering

Maybe try banana water or coffee grounds.
